Welcome to The Sandbox
We Acquire and Grow Great Local Businesses
Sandbox partners with owners to transition, operate, and expand established companies with care, continuity, and long-term focus.
A Different Kind of Buyer
Sandbox acquires and operates established local businesses across home services and main street industries.
We’re not private equity and we’re not brokers. We’re operators focused on long-term ownership, continuity for employees and customers, and responsible growth.
If you’ve built something meaningful and are exploring transition options, we welcome a confidential conversation.

We work with owners considering succession, retirement, or operational change. Our process is collaborative, confidential, and designed to ensure continuity for employees and customers.
Operator-Led. Relationship Focused.
Sandbox was founded by experienced sales and operations leadership with a track record of building revenue, managing teams, and executing in real-world business environments.
We approach acquisitions with respect for what owners have built and a commitment to continuity for employees, customers, and communities. Our focus is long-term ownership, operational improvement, and responsible growth.
This is not a fund.
This is hands-on ownership.
Every transition is handled confidentially and thoughtfully, with the goal of preserving legacy while positioning the business for its next phase.
